Frankwin, <br /> <br />If I might make a suggestion, it would be that you think about what era, location, industries, scenery, and other features you would like to have as part of a layout before you search for a plan. By making a few key decisions about the purpose of the railroad you are about to build, a track plan may suggest itself. <br /> <br />For instance, a full size intermodal yard, coal mine, shipyard, and a 1000' trestle may be pushing it, even for Nscale in a 4x12 space [;)]. However, if you wanted to do a gritty industrial switching scene along one side of the 4x12 (ie. taking 2 or 3x12) and have mountain scenery and a big trestle, waterfalls, whatever, on the other side, this is probably "doable"... <br /> <br />Having said that, this is an interesting site for smaller Nscale track plans. A few are even planned for doors, which approach your 4x12 space. Maybe you could combine a few of them to suit what you have in mind: <br /> <br />http://www.naisp.net/users/mfischer/m_train2.htm <br /> <br />Andrew <br />
